Lost ice tool on Chair Peak yesterday (2/12)

[Clover]

Went up the north face of Chair Peak yesterday and had my fairly newish BD Rage hammer fall out of my loop at some point while rapping down. I last had it on the summit and realized it was gone at the bottom of the second rap, so it's somewhere between the two.

 

It has a red webbing leash on it.

 

If you're up there and find it, I'd really love to have it back. There's a cash reward and a beer and plenty of good karma in it for you.

 

Thanks,

Clover

Bummer about the tool. How were the conditions on Chair? How about avy conditions in that big bowl under pinnapple pass, etc.?

I was in the area yesterday and the avi conditions where low, and Chair looked rather sparsely covered. The snow conditions improved above 5,000'. I snowed a little, then rained then snowed (just a little) again and didn't look appealing.

 

Good luck on finding the tool.

There was a good bit of avy debris with not too many tracks across it--didn't look like there was much unstable stuff left to go. We stayed in the tracks on the traverse and watched our step anyway, though. Better safe than sorry. After the next batch of snow the place will be a death trap, though.
